How we handle stucco painting in Costa Mesa
Inspect
We walk the walls looking for hairline cracks, chalking, peeling and stains, and note how the stucco is weathering.
Wash
The stucco is washed to lift dirt, chalk and mildew, because paint will not hold on a dusty surface.
Repair
Hairline cracks are filled and caulk is renewed around windows, doors and trim. Larger cracks are flagged for stucco repair.
Prime
Patched spots and bare stucco get primer so the color coat dries evenly.
Coat
Acrylic paint or an elastomeric coating is worked into the texture by roller or sprayer, in the number of coats your estimate states.
Walkthrough
We check coverage in the texture with you and touch up any missed spots.

A local tip

Stucco Painting in Costa Mesa: common questions
Does coastal moisture in Costa Mesa affect exterior painting?
It can. Damp mornings and salt-laden air can affect how paint cures, so we check conditions and schedule around them.
Do I need HOA approval for a new stucco color?
Many HOAs require color approval. Send us your approved palette or approval form and we'll paint to it. Approval itself comes from your HOA.
Can you paint stucco?
Yes. Stucco takes paint well when it is clean and sound. We wash it, fill hairline cracks, caulk gaps and prime bare spots first, so the new coating bonds.
Should I use acrylic paint or an elastomeric coating?
It depends on your walls. Acrylic is breathable and comes in many colors. Elastomeric is thicker and more flexible, and can bridge hairline cracks, but it is heavier and less breathable. We'll look at your walls and tell you which suits them.
